Did the japanese submarines and warships dispatched to the atlantic play an important role in the south atlantic during the battle of the atlantic for the axis navies?

The Japanese military did not cooperate with the axis navies. Their enemies were in the Pacific Ocean, so they would not have sent ships to the Atlantic. The allies controlled the locks at Panama, so if Japanese ships wanted access to the Atlantic, they would have had to have sailed south between South America and Antarctica.

So, no, the Japanese subs and ships did not play an important role in the "battle of the Atlantic", whatever that would have been.
